Boho style has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. And before many people could really understand what it was about, the meaning got lost and vague in a confusing way.

It’s common to see grunge looks, or very basic 90’s style outfits being called boho. Why, you ask? Well, I have no idea 😂 I can’t see the connection between high waisted jeans + choker and a cropped top with boho style! Maybe they get it mixed up with indie style? Or, more likely, with tumblr style!? Seems like it.

Anyway, sorry for the venting at the beginning of the post hahah! In all honesty, I want this to be informative and useful. And everything I’ll write here is based on theoretical knowledge.

So let’s understand once and for all what this style really is, and how to put together beautiful outfits in this aesthetic!

For the sake of understanding, on this post I refer to boho as the fashion style that became popular worldwide mainly between the years 2005 and 2015.

BOHO is short for bohemian homeless. It’s a fashion style influenced mainly, but not exclusively, by the hippie of the 60s and the bohemian of 2 centuries ago. There is also a strong connection to the gypsy culture, so much so that it’s difficult to see the line that separates boho and gypsy style.

Historically, immigrants and refugees from central Europe who arrived in Europe’s major capitals (mainly in Paris) were called bohemians. Among them, were several Gypsies. Their way of dressing, disheveled and carefree, and their unruly life (compared to that of the native population) caught people’s attention and caused fascination. And their aesthetics ended up becoming what is now known as Bohemian Style. This is the root of the style now known as boho.

The irony is that, at that time, dressing so freely and carefree meant not caring about fashion, not caring about society and being a non-bourgeois. Current boho, or boho chic as some people call it, has become the exact opposite of that. A trend that fell in favor of elite trend-setters and influencers, and a source of income for super expensive high end brands.

How did the current boho trend emerge?

Among the super-tuned and fashion-crazy people, boho actually begins to emerge at the end of 2004. English actress Sienna Miller (above) and her dress style, inspired by the film “Almost Famous” drew attention to it’s hippie-like looks, but with more urban influences in the pieces. The actress’s appearance at the Glastonbury festival in 2004 caused a furor in the fashion world and since that specific event, the boho style has started to become popular and trendy. The twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen also quickly adopted the trend at the time and greatly influenced the spread of boho in the US.

As of 2007, many brands had already adopted the style in their collections. Others, who already had a style-oriented essence, took advantage of the hype to gain notoriety and earn money. For example, Free People, probably the most boho brand there is. There’s also Stone Cold Fox, For the Love of Lemons …

It’s also worth mentioning that, over time, both Sienna, the Olsen twins, and Free People themselves abandoned the original boho aesthetic, more similar to the bohemian roots and hippie looks, and adapted their styles to more current fashion trends, such as tomboy, minimalism, scandinavian, among others.

Boho style icons

Penny Lane played by Kate Hudson in Almost Famous is probably the most memorable figure when it comes to boho style. Top model Kate Moss is also considered an unquestionable style icon for the aesthetic, in addition to Sienna Miller, who directly influenced the emergence of boho as a trend. Other important figures in this scenario are Talitha Getty, Brigitte Bardot, and currently Vanessa Hudgens, Emily Ratajkowski, among others.

Main boho elements:

Basically, boho shapes are loose and fluid. Nothing too tight, or too short. Femininity is present, but at the same time, pieces of the male wardrobe are adapted and reinvented. Fringes and rag-style cutouts are everywhere, so are long fluid dresses and skirts.

Among the colors, patterns and prints, neutrals, earthy, grimy “white”, tie-dye, paisley, florals and geometrics with reference to tribal prints stand out. Colorful embroidery, typically from South American cultures for example, are very common. Fur and other fibers that refer to the natural are very boho as well.

In terms of accessories, the floppy hat was marked as one of the most characteristic accessories of boho, especially between 2010 and 1013. Overlapping and stacking jewelry are also trademarks of the style. Such as turbans, headbands, hats and other garments inspired by native cultures around the world. Flowers and feathers are significant, referring to the influential hippie culture. And let’s no forget the classic cross bags, especially the ones with fringe details are super boho as well!

Shoes: chunky flat boots, low, medium, high or over the knee, and mostly in neutral tones. Gladiator sandals and flat sandals in different shapes, but always with a natural look footprint. Sneakers are added into the game as of 2015/16.

Key pieces: Tunics, long skirts, maxi dresses, flowing clothes in general, bell-bottom pants or pantaloons.

Hair usually looks natural. Due to its connection with the hippie style, boho asks for longer and “blunt” hair. The hairstyles are always very relaxing and effortless, with braids being a great icon (mainly from 2010 to 2013) with the appearance of the high semi-bun in 2015-2016

In some cases, the boho fashion style also reflects a person’s lifestyle. The boho spirit is romantic but rebellious, appreciative of beauty and art and very connected to nature. Unhappy with the obvious and the conventional, curious and above all free.

Phew… such a long post! Hope it’s useful 🙂

🌼 Picture this: You’re in a quiet, peaceful, sunbathed garden full of leafy trees, and you see wildflowers everywhere. You’re picking a few to decorate the living room, so you calmly collect and place them in the wicker basket by your feet. Humming a Sufjan Stevens song while the birds sing in the background, you pick up the basket and slowly walk back to the cottage, your long flowy skirt swishing briskly through the long grass […] 🌼

Feels nice, right? Cottagecore mood is all about a more simple life like that, in a very romanticized almost unrealistic and dreamy way. Less or no technology, a deeper connection with nature, no rush, no stress…

Visually, the cottager loves soft colors mixed with earth tones, off whites and beige, and faded shades of blue, orange, pink and green. Objects in this aesthetic often have retro design and they’re full of sentimental meaning and personality 📜🕯

Don’t get this confused with hipster vintage stuff that cost a fortune, though. I’m talking really mundane (and even tacky) granny objects and handmade things! After all, this is supposed to be about a lifestyle, not just appearance.

Also, when I mention the simplicity and unbothered nature of this aesthetic it’s worth stressing that, contrary to the scandinavian style that has become popular in recent years and have a rustic cabin style vibe as well, the cottagecore is not minimalist. It would just be too cold and impersonal for a cottager 🤎🌸

You’ll not see any luxury either, nothing too flashy and no “trend of the moment”. The real cottage core is about the simple life, period. No matter how rich you are.

Some of the interests related to the cottagecore aesthetic are literature – especially the classics, art and nature. Home cooked food and homemade crafts and tools of all sorts are part of the daily life of the cottager, or they can often be considered a hobby.

When it comes to style, the traditional “feminine” look is the center of this aesthetic, so a lot of what characterizes the cottagecore is directly connected to it. How modest, how romantic and how rustic it will be will depend on personal preference, but there’s always some degree of the three involved. Accessories are dainty and fabrics are rich in texture or delicate and flowy.

A few cute cottagecore looks I found:

And few options if you don’t like dresses or skirts:

Here’s a mood board I created using pics from Unsplash and Pexels 🕰🗝👒

Now, one of the coolest things about any aesthetic is the subdivisions that start popping up once it gets big. Bloomcore and Fairycore are some of the most popular ones derived from the cottage. There’s also lots of mixing and matching with other aesthetics like cottage academia, vaporwave cottage, naturecore, grandparentcore, summer cottage, witch cottage, etc!

🤎 In the imaginary world of the cottagecore aesthetic (cause, believe me, it’s imaginary. That’s NOT what it’s like to live in a farm, I know that well). Anyways, in that beautiful imaginary world it is always summer/spring, the sun is always shining and the mood is always positive and stress free. It’s easy to understand why many use this aesthetic as their favorite escaping mechanism. Who wouldn’t want that?? 🤎

Here’s a second mood board I created, now focusing more on the concept of the aesthetic:

And since I know you guy loooove this, here’s a list of my fav Cottagecore aesthetic emojis: ⏳😌📚🐮🦌📻🦋🐿🌳🍂🌼💭⌛🕰🍄🌰⛅🌙🍯🍓🪲🌧🥧🌻☕🎻🌱🧚🏽‍♀️⛰🌄🏡🕯📺💐🧺🗝✉📜✒🧶📝🌸🧦👒📬🦆🤎👩🏼‍🌾🐖🌿🍂🌞🍎🥛🛤🕰🖼

Here’s also a playlist to get in the cottage mood, no matter where you are. This is a great way to transport yourself mentally to the world of this aesthetic, regardless if you are in the middle of a huge noisy busy city or actually at a nice and cozy cabin 🙂

And finally, this is my faaaaaav cottage core music video. Let me know which one is yours in the comments below!

Hope you like this post. Make sure you check out the one wrote about the baddie aesthetic as well.

I’ll be back very soon with more aesthetic content for you guys 🎻✨

[…] You enter the little cottage, lay the basket on the kitchen table, grab an old victorian style cup and pour some herbal tea, sipping while you arrange the flowers in a vase. They look beautiful, so you take a deep breath, grab a book and proceed to sit comfortably in your favorite armchair by the living room window and get lost in your favourite book throughout the afternoon.

Hey gurls. If you’re looking for information and inspiration on the Baddie Aesthetic, this post will give you everything you need to know.

First and foremost, the name baddie comes from bad bitch, and the fierce name itself, to me, translates the spirit of this aesthetic.

The heartbreaker confident girl who is NOT afraid to show who she is and how powerful her personality and looks are? That’s the baddie. She’s up-to-date with the beauty and fashion trends and her favorite style is feminine, sexy and super cool. And her eyebrows and nail games are stronger than anybody’s you know! She likes shiny glittery things, pink and purple (or whatever colors are hot rn), tight clothes that show her gorgeous figure and lots of accessories. This sexy lady loves to spend time on her looks and feel empowered by them, not giving one single fuck who likes it or not 💖🌹💅🏽

Oh, and baddies are into making money too. Lots of of it 🤑🤑🤑

Other styles that have a lot in common and are often associated with the baddie are the barbiecore (more soft), gangsta (more street) and femme fatale (more classy and glam).

Now that you know what the aesthetic is all about, let’s get some inspo on how the get the baddie look!

The baddie look

As you can see, the feminine super sexy style prevails with crop tops, tight jeans, sneakers and hoodies being favorites. Accessories like big hoop earrings and stacked necklaces and bracelets are a must, specially the shiny ones. There’s not such thing as too many accessories! A baddie’s outfit and makeup will always look a million dollars. No matter if she’s filthy rich or totally broke 💖💖💖

Statement pieces are often used by baddies to emphasize both their love for fashion and their confidence in their own sense of style. Which is simply flawless tbh, no matter what they’re wearing.

Now I’ve also made a baddie pop culture aesthetic reference moodboard, these are always great source of inspiration:

LOVE THEM ALL 😭😭💗💗

My favorite baddie aesthetic emojis are these: 🖕🏽👄🗯🤑🍸💘💎🛍💣🏆🎆👙🧋😈✨🖤🌹😛🍒🍾😎 ✴️💕🎧💳👑‼️🌙🎀🥂💲🔮😻🦋💞📣🔪💋💵😉🖕🏻💖✨👠👛🧨💄💅🏾💥🪞💜❌⚡️👸🏽💗🎇🚀🔥

One more thing that’s important to highlight, guys. If you pay attention to this aesthetic, you’ll see it evolves with whatever is trending in the mainstream media/culture. I mean, right now we have all the pink and purple, sneakers, glitter, guns and knives as well as Playboy, Barbie and Bratz dolls, 90s and 80 references… A while ago you’d see more of a cameo print + black clothes and a less girly attitude for sure. Just like any other aesthetics, the baddie will adapt to her time and individual preferences. It’s anybody’s guess what exactly this aesthetic will look like one year from now, for example 🤷🏽‍♀️

So, to sum up, the baddie aesthetic has to do with badass attitude combined with a love for trendy beauty and fashion. And making money. Lots of it!

And this is my fav baddie music video. What’s yours?
